[2phased]

Hi ,
mate of mine whats to swap his engines around
and wants to put a 447 engine in to the early frame 70-73
if i can remember its just the front or rear engine mounts that are different
any help or info would be great

front and rear are different, maybe the top also. you need to use 70-73 mounts for a 70-73 frame.

the front , rear and top setion of the top mounts are different.

Is it just the triangle plates, or the bolt-holes on the frame?

yeah what oakbehringer said

I did some searching... all engines have the same mounting points. Any engine can go in any frame, so long as their original mounting tabs go with.
